and ate bread shock not me, Gwyneth Paltrow. Clearly I've been off the rails practically all my life.

Has anything sent you off the rails in the past 12 months? apart from reading the endless drivel spouted by a number of well known individuals quirky little statements such as that from the Goddess of Goop grin

White bread with naughty butter on it is the comfort food to surpass all others Annaram1 or more simply put, YUM.

Sago, love your post.
Chocolate ? and bread ? are my weaknesses. Our local Slimming world rep has declared an amnesty for all those of us going back to weigh in next week - I'm gonna need it!

I love white bread and also suffer awful bloating. I've cut down, but not completely. I'd love a dietitian to tell me what is good for me, and what is bad.

Aldis. Only $20 . They go very quickly. I have a confession to make. I greedily grabbed the last 2 in the shop!

Someone could probably make a lot of money starting a clinic where they stitch up mouths,I’d need to be first in line.

Youngest daughter loves bread, she put on loads of weight before the pandemic, thought it was her "pub nights alcohol". Comes the pandemic and lockdown, she and her partner don't/won't drink in the house, so thought she would lose her "belly". She soon found out it wasn't the booze putting on her weight it was all the bread she was eating, and working from home didn't help, because she would veer towards the kitchen every time she took a break from her computer......this pandemic has a lot to answer for !!

Sago, your comments made me laugh, which is no mean feat the way I'm feeling at the moment, so thank you!

I really just need to know. Has anyone actually ever smelt a GP vagina scented candle and is there any comparison to the real thing? Also, why on earth would anyone ever want a vagina scented candle!! You really have to hand it to GP, she has an amazing ability to make a fortune by pandering to the idiot classes!!!

My weakness is Lemon & Lime posset - 100g of creamy citrus deliciousness. A kitchen drawer full of the little yellow ceramic pots bears witness to my lockdown addiction. I kid myself that eating it with blueberries makes it borderline healthy eating.

I confess, it's Aldi's Belgian Buns are a serious weakness. And they're big enough to be used for Calendar Girls. Heaven help my hip level handles...

Pina Colada fans, M&S have a pineapple and coconut juice that you just have to add rum to. It's really, really delicious. I've been told...

HillyN sorry, fish finger sandwiches are salad cream only! I have also in lockdown discovered coffee cake, I don’t eat sweets, or cake, or biscuits, well, hadn’t done for too many years to mention, I don’t generally have a sweet tooth. But I’ve indulged in coffee cake a few times, had to stop now, but fear coffee ice cream, the pricey ones, may replace it. As an inveterate tea drinker, it’s odd.

A good coffee and walnut cake is hard to beat.

Pork pies! Before lockdown was known to (very) occasionally say “ no, I’d better not?) now.... defo I’m who ate all the pies?
